The only identifying detail is an abbreviated name, "Rich. Crane," taken from the negative or its caption card, and the record gives no date, so the sitter remains unconfirmed. The surname may point to a member of the Crane family of Chicago, whose plumbing and valve company was a major industrial firm in the early 1900s. The portrait belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a set of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied pictures of public figures and events to newspapers during the 1900s and 1910s.
